Media Center - Reading Counts

Scholastic's Reading Counts is a reading motivation program. In this program, students choose and read books included in the program, and then take a tests on a computer. This test is used to determine if they understood and retained information about the book. If the student passes the test, then s/he earns the number of points that are associated with the book.

The Reading Counts program keeps track of each student's quiz results and has reporting capability. The data is kept on the school’s education server, so that the students are able to take quizzes from any computer in the school that is connected to the network. Additional quizzes can be added to the computers at any time.

Each book in the BCA library that is on the program is labeled with the book's Lexile level, and number of points the student will earn by reading and passing the quiz for the book. The labels are color coded so that the students can easily identify the books on the program. The students' Lexile level is determined by taking the Scholastic Reading Inventory (SRI) test.

**One thing to note about the program is that once a student passes a test, or fails it twice; they cannot take it again. The software keeps track of this information.
